New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 251 Grand Ambition: [New Concept: Data Immortal Path]

Inside the warehouse of the inner world, Yuan Zhu carefully selected 108 [Insect Pillars] based on his personal preferences and the five elements attributes of different [Insect Pillars].

He first determined the five elements attributes inherent in the [Insect Pillar Suppressing Stone] based on the type of cultivation technique the [Demon Insect] used in its previous life (Insect Cultivation), and then distributed them as evenly as possible, ensuring that all attributes were present.

Subsequently, he went to great lengths to avoid the frequent appearance of the same type of insect. He aimed to make the insect pillars within the [Dharma Domain] as diverse and colorful as possible, and highly artistic and aesthetically pleasing.

Yuan Zhu walked ahead, constantly commenting. The younger brother followed behind, and upon hearing this, he huffed and puffed as he stepped forward, carrying out the thousand-pound [Insect Pillar Suppressing Stone] and moving it to an open space with a loud thud.

He worked diligently the whole time, was honest and didn't talk much, and had a very muscular physique, with arms even thicker than Yuan Zhu's. He looked exactly like an extreme warrior practicing the "Way of Strength," and you couldn't tell at all that he was an 8-year-old boy.

The two worked in the warehouse for almost two hours. The younger brother continuously circulated his 'Qi Silk' throughout his body, using the [Insect Pillars] as exercise equipment. In the end, they selected 108 pillars and neatly stacked them together.

After completing this step, Yuan Zhu placed himself within the [Law Domain] and attempted to connect to [Happy Home] through the [Shadow Dream Hole].

He connected successfully shortly after. Then, he prepaid four coins to mark the shipment as 'packed and ready for shipment'. But the transfer failed.

Only when he returns can he follow me and be teleported back to [Happy Home].

After confirming that the batch of [Insect Pillars] had been marked, Yuan Zhu felt much more at ease. With the addition of these [Insect Pillars], he no longer needed to painstakingly refine the demonic insects in his [Tiger Demon Form].

Once I return to Running, I can immediately go into the mountains to search for an auspicious burial site and complete the establishment of the orthodox [Mountain Lord's Domain].

By then, he will have a real place to settle down and make a living on Duling Star.

No need to live in a haunted house like a ticking time bomb, sneaking around in fear every day. No need to secretly dig into the "garden of disease" while worrying about the victim coming to your door.

Besides the anticipation of owning a piece of 'private land' that was absolutely his own, Yuan Zhu also had a strong premonition:

That is, once the [Boss Template] successfully activates its ultimate divine power ([Law Domain]), its [Tiger Demon Form] will also undergo an update and upgrade, unlocking a new form?
Just like in a game, after completing chapter 1, chapter 2 can be unlocked.

Fully activating the six divine abilities inherent in the [Tiger Demon] is a certain upgrade condition.

As for the true nature of Chapter 2, he had some guesses. It was the resurrection of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture], the decompression and installation of the [Server], and the full activation and application of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture. Spy Infiltrator System].

According to Snake, the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture], which was supposed to invade the 'Immortal Universe', will choose a 'spiritual vein' to parasitize and decompress for installation. At this point, its true nature will be revealed.

On one hand, it becomes a planet-level signal source, attempting to communicate with the external technological universe and covertly transmit intelligence and data; on the other hand, the [Immortal Scripture Server] can consume 'spiritual vein' resources to continuously self-replicate and produce 'ordinary spiritual roots (clients)'.

They spread the technology through indigenous spies, thereby infiltrating more indigenous people, infiltrating numerous cultivation sects, and then using the "Immortal Scripture" to monitor the evolution of cultivation techniques.

Bad news: Now in a different world, in the wrong universe, the [Immortal Scripture] has completely severed its connection with the [Technological Universe], becoming an orphan. At the same time, the [Immortal Scripture] has also suffered severe pollution, completely shutting down and crashing.

What Yuan Zhu is most looking forward to now is that the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] fails to revive itself, so that he can continue to act as its spokesperson and take charge; secondly, he hopes that even after the [server] is corrupted, it can still generate 'spiritual roots (clients)' and distribute them to others.

...

He had a premonition that if the [BOSS Template (Tiger Demon)] could successfully digest and absorb the production process of the [Data-Driven Spiritual Root], it would be a great success.

Then the Tiger Demon's Shadow Contamination System will take a crucial step, completing the condensation of the Seed! This is equivalent to the Holy Seal-Soul Crystal in the Holy Light System.

Although the current strength of the Tiger Demon far surpasses that of the Seed, and even exceeds that of the Gate.

However, the [Boss Template], as a branch of the interdimensional spy system, has not yet been fully localized or corrupted. Therefore, the performance of the [Tiger Demon] is incompatible with the other 'corruption systems' of the Spirit Scripture.

Despite possessing the potential of gods and demons, the [Gate] has yet to materialize its own [Species Level] symbol and is unable to open the [Gate].

The root of the pollution (Boss template) lacks a complete advancement path within the Shadow System. Many foes are stuck at the Seed level, unable to find a way to break through.

Fortunately, he began to actively create multiple 'Shadow Promotion Systems' through part-time work at [Anti-Law.Shadow], using manual screening to make them compatible with the [Boss Template] and complete it.

However, if Yuan Zhu could use the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture to decipher the method of 'artificial data-driven spiritual roots (client)'.

He will then truly master a completely new pollution system, unlike anything ever seen in the world of the Spirit Tablets. With this, becoming a revered ancestor and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Creator of the Mechanics Magic Network and the Ancestor of Sword Immortals would not be a pipe dream.

...

After descending upon the [Feathered World], in addition to taking over the inspection of the [Law Domain] and taking stock of his personal property, he will also control the [Shadow Dream Hole] for at least 12 hours every day in the form of a [Tiger Demon].

This allows one to enter a profound state of 'unity of heaven and man' for spiritual practice and enlightenment.

Using the extremely high status of the [Shadow Dream Hole], he explored the [Nightmare Layer] through superficial communication, receiving a massive flood of chaotic information every moment.

Within the Nightmare Layer, there is no time, space, causality, or order; everything is chaotic and disordered. It also connects to the "dreams" of all life forms in all "worlds and dimensions."

From crawlers to gods and demons, all can inadvertently let their 'thoughts and random thoughts' flow into the [Nightmare Layer].

Therefore, this place is a dumping ground for massive amounts of mental pollution, but even in the filth, there are hidden fragments of precious forbidden knowledge, like 'gold dust'. As long as one can withstand the impact and side effects of the nightmare pollution, one can comprehend all sorts of incredible wonders from the [Nightmare Layer].

After breaking free from the protection of the Pale Law Firewall, Yuan Zhu used the entire Shadow Domain as his enlightenment artifact.

He used the [Shadow Dream Hole] to read a vast amount of dangerous and forbidden knowledge from the 'Nightmare Layer'; he used the [Reverse Life Tree] as a filter to contain the pollution and impurities flowing out of the 'Nightmare'.

He takes all the benefits, but bears all the risks within the entire [Dharma Domain ('Dream Hole + Reverse Rebirth Tree + Immortal Tree Remains' system)]. This reckless approach to cultivation allows him to experience a surge of inspiration, with seemingly profound but ultimately flawed insights (malicious misguidance, corrupt knowledge) occurring at every moment.

At the same time, the [Shadow Aura] is also pouring into Kuku's [Boss Template] and [Anti-Herrscher. Fund Pool], resulting in a visible recovery (Tiger Demon) and an improvement (Anti-Herrscher).

This kind of demonic cultivation method, which focuses on quick success and instant benefits, will lead to demonic possession, distortion and alienation, and the evaporation of rationality in the outside world... The excessive increase in strength comes at the cost of losing control and stability.

However, Yuan Zhu miraculously became immune to these side effects and, with the help of this surge in demonic power, was able to see and understand some information about himself.

...

He vaguely guessed why the [Spirit Planet] was so persistent in its entanglement with the eight [Outer Universes] and refused to let go. It wasn't simply a matter of sucking blood from the outer universes.

The unique cosmic laws of the early magical and industrial universes, which were intertwined with the [Spirit Script], were plundered, dismembered, recombined, and digested by the [Spirit Script] world, giving birth to super [sources of pollution], which became the origins of different 'pollution systems'.

Even the 'Heavenly Buddha Head (an independent otherworldly item)', which lacked the support of the 'External Universe', was assimilated and absorbed by the 'Spirit of the Tablet', giving rise to the current 'Buddha Cocoon System'.

Although their own [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is much lower-grade, it is similar in nature to the [Buddha Head], both being crystallizations of the rules of an unfamiliar [unknown universe].

In the 'primordial world', it would be a 'primordial object' conceived from chaos before Pangu separated heaven and earth.

However, the Buddha Head is comparable to a Primordial Chaos Treasure, while the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture is merely a Primordial Miscellaneous Material.

Despite their vast differences, they all occupy a 'pre-existing' position. For [Duling Star], they are entirely new and unknown rules (nutrients), requiring assimilation (digestion and absorption) through pollution to be fully integrated into the pollution system of the 'Duling Universe' and become a part of itself.

In this process of (being polluted and assimilated), the [data system + immortal universe. demonic spiritual root] can also evolve into a new and unique 'root. source'.

This kind of opportunity is something that even the most extraordinary individuals in the local area cannot obtain, no matter how hard they try.

Yuan Zhu has a lot to say on this.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture actively absorbs the Shadow Pollution, accepts assimilation from the Spirit World, and splits out the Boss Template (Yuan Zhu) to adapt to the environment.

Thus, Yuan Zhu continuously absorbed 'Shadow Contamination' to cultivate and improve his power; he also devoured and refined various sources of contamination (from the 'Chang Gui'), creating multiple 'Chang Gui and Extraordinary Contamination Crystals'; and at lightning speed, he cultivated the 'Holy Light System' into 'Soul Crystals,' giving birth to a host of skills, yet he never suffered even a single instance of 'contamination erosion,' leading to physical deformities, a twisted personality, and loss of reason...

Even though he controlled the [Shadow Dream Hole] and didn't even know how to use 'Astral Projection + Armor Protection', he dared to surf wildly in the [Nightmare Layer] without any backlash and even sensed a lot of information.

He improved rapidly and recklessly, without ever paying the slightest price. This wasn't due to exceptional talent, but rather because the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] had already paid the fee.

The pollution level was as high as 19.6%.

...

The extraterrestrial object, the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, was actively corrupted and assimilated by itself, representing 17.6% + 1% + 1%. In return, Yuan Zhu gained the privilege of rampant growth and development within the three systems of Data-Driven Shadow, Data-Driven Holy Light, and Data-Driven Anti-Law.

One day, the Immortal Scripture will be 100% corrupted by the Spirit World.

At that time, the [Data-Driven Cultivation Program] will also become one of the rules of the [Spirit Universe], and will be presented in a new local form such as the [Data-Driven Shadow (Holy Light/Anti-Law) Contamination Root].

At that time, regardless of his strength, Yuan Zhu, having lost the [Immortal Scripture] as a price, would face the endless distortion, erosion, pollution, and interference of his native cesspool universe.

Upon realizing this, Yuan Zhu inexplicably felt a sense of urgency.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture is not some top-level rule from another world; it is merely one of many 'spy systems' that have invaded the Immortal Universe, and its potential is limited.

Therefore, the speed at which it is polluted and assimilated by the Spirit World is definitely not as fast as the [Buddha Head], or even the 'rules' of the eight outer universes.

He is currently in the 'early stage of transcendence', and his strength is weak. He cannot see the limit of the [Immortal Scripture] for the time being, which is why he dares to use the [Chang Gui Divine Power] to refine all kinds of 'pollutants' and use the [Holy Light] to burn all kinds of pollution sources, extract the embers, and accelerate his cultivation.

However, as one's strength increases, the price paid by the [Immortal Scripture] will inevitably be quickly exhausted. At that time, without the protective shell, one will enter the 'rapid death (self-destruction)' stage.

Therefore, the situation is urgent, and we can no longer try blindly. Instead, we should concentrate our resources and efforts, select a path, and develop a complete pollution system for the Boss template.

The goal is to build a complete cultivation system before the resources of the Immortal Scripture are exhausted, in order to counter external crises and risks. After all, the Shadow System accounts for as much as 17.6% of the Immortal Scripture, far exceeding the 1% of Holy Light and Anti-Law.

"Cultivating immortality! The Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture is ultimately about cultivating immortality, and that's the style that best suits it, saves energy, and requires the least effort! I want to create my own 'Shadow Immortal Path,' spread it throughout the myriad realms, and bring blessings to all living beings! Let's achieve common prosperity and common progress."

The 'ancestor of the immortal path' suddenly went mad in the warehouse, rambling incoherently and making grand vows.

Having shared Yuan Zhu's 'sudden enlightenment,' Snake asked with a mixture of anticipation and urge, "Has our [Root of Shadows] finally decided to launch its own [Data-Driven Cultivation System]? To pave a [Data-Driven Immortal Path] for all living beings? I can't wait!"

When it comes to the path of immortality, the current era of Duling can be described as 'a dazzling path to immortality, with fierce competition among immortals'!
Not only are there the ancient Kunlun Immortal Path (Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghosts, and Gods) and the declining Yellow Heaven Path, but also the emerging Great Crimson Heaven Immortal Court; in addition, there are unorthodox paths such as Overseas Wandering Immortals, Golden Corpse-Dissolving Immortals, Sword Immortals, and Yang Gods; the Feathered Immortals who have intricate connections with the native insect-cultivating Qi practitioners; and the Twenty-Eight Constellations Star Lords who exist in the future... and so on.

Although the actual art style of many of the "Immortal Paths" in the Scroll Spirits may have no connection to the image of immortals on Earth, they are all genuine "immortals" in this world!
Therefore, the cultivation culture in this world (the Duling Universe) is extremely strong! Even Yuan Zhu has always been thinking about creating a data-based immortal path system with independent intellectual property rights.

Using the concept of "cultivation" makes it easier to penetrate the Duling universe, gain public acceptance, and spread.

Snake was also eager for this: "We should create a new concept of data-driven cultivation method so that these local knock-offs using the name of 'cultivation' can see what the real orthodox path of immortality is!"

As an intelligent spirit born from the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, she was furious with the chaotic and nonsensical "immortal techniques" of the locals. What the hell are these "pipe wrench flying swords, vegetative immortals, bone china Taoists, golden corpse-dissolving immortals..."?
Come and see my eldest son's pure [Tiger Demon Mutated Spiritual Root]! This is a true demon from the celestial realm!
